1st Wednesday of Advent December 4, 2024 Abraham and Sarah Symbol=Starry sky
What promises are we given? Our only promise is the unflagging love of God. Abraham and Sarah moved away from home, suffered abuse, and knew the pain of infertility. Have you had to uproot in any way, borne hardships, or felt the pain of disappointment? Remember the lyrics of a song from the ’70’s: “I beg your pardon; I never promised you a rose garden”? Life can seem unfair, and actually is sometimes, but go out and look at the stars. Remember the promise and count your blessings. They may just outnumber the stars. Question: Have I overlooked blessing because I see only broken promises? Gen 15:5-6
